Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez's engagement is unsurprisingly changing the couple's real estate portfolio.

According to Mansion Global's sources, A-Rod sold his Hollywood Hills home to an unknown buyer for $4.4 million in a sale finalized earlier this month. He first listed the home last November for $6.5 million and eventually lowered the asking price to $5.25 million in March.

Rodriguez purchased the property from Meryl Streep in 2014 for $4.8 million, meaning that he offloaded the property at a slight loss.
